Tim, Jessie and Michael are all hanging at my place. We're in the middle of Mario kart when Tim asks if I'm going to ask her out any time soon. He says he's rooting for me especially since he put 50 down that I will. I bust out laughing, he must have a lot of faith in me to put down that much money. I tell him don't worry I've got this.Mr. Deckland said he would put in grades for all the projects after the last one. Two weeks pass before I see the grades online. We've gotten A's for all them. I text her excitedly to look at the grade book, she responds in a matter of minutes saying how she knew we would do great. I tell her let's celebrate she says where I tell her the roller skating rink she says she's in.
I drive over to her and text her I'm outside she runs out of the house in a pink camisole tucked in to a long black skirt with white converse on her feet. Jumping into my car she lets out a breathy hi. You seem excited I tell her and she shrugs her shoulders. I turn on the radio and we drive to the roller rink in silence. I wonder if she can hear my heart trying to break out of my chest.
At the roller skating rink she asks if I want to see who's the fastest. I say on your mark get set and before I say go she takes off. I yell 'little cheater' and she just looks over her shoulder and laughs. I pick up speed and am about to pass her when she grabs on to my shirt making us twirl and lose our balance. We go crashing to the floor our laughter echoing through the building as others skate around us. We skate a few more times around when I ask if she wants to take a break she nods her yes and we take off our skates heading to the food court.
We decide to split a pizza and each get a drink. She asks me if I'm excited to see the new action thriller coming out and I tell her we should see it together. She tells me that she's happy that there's going to be at least one person she knows at college because all her friends chose other colleges or didn't get in. I tell her I feel the same way even though Tim will be at that college too. When we finish our food I ask her if she wants to do one more lap around, she says yes. I tell her we'll go as soon as I get back from the restroom.
We enter the roller rink for our last lap and I take her hand in mine. As we skate the lights dim and the music changes, her eyes open wide when she realizes it's that song from the party. She looks at me and I smile I pull her close to me and we stop skating. 'I like you' I say looking down at her, her brown eyes look up at me and she says 'I like you too'. I smile as I lean down closing the distance between us.
My eyes close as our lips touch and I feel as if I'm floating on clouds. Her mouth tastes like cotton candy and dreams come true. I pull her closer to my body deepening the kiss; my tongue swirls with hers creating an elaborate dance that portrays all my wants, desires and need for her. My mind is clouded with only her. Rosalind, Rosalind, Rosalind, Rosalind. That's all I can think of as I try to meld her into me. Too soon we break apart and my eyes open, our breaths are shallow as we try to catch our breaths. Her lips are plumper than usual and her eyes dilated, her skin has a slight flush to it. I look around the rink and notice the lights have changed to pink.
"Rosalind, pretty surrounded in pink," She smiles at me and I feel at peace.
A/N: I love the innocence of young love. Well sometimes it's not all so innocent, but a few fall into that category. How old were you when you had your first crush?Don't forget to like and/or comment.
